Relativity Physics

Time Dilation

Definition

The difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers due to a velocity and gravitational differences between them, a consequence of Einstein's theory of relativity.

Accelerated Wormhole Travel
The theory that microscopic wormhole mouths can be treated like charged particles, accelerated in cyclotrons to near light speed, and used for faster-than-light travel via time dilation.
Chronology Protection / Retrocausality Prohibition
The idea that while wormholes allow for time dilation and could theoretically function as time machines, nature prevents paradoxes (like the grandfather paradox) by destroying the mechanism or canceling the signals, ensuring teleportation is possible but breaking the time stream is not.
Effective Superluminal Travel
A method of travel that is physically sub-luminal but effectively faster-than-light from the traveler's perspective due to relativistic time dilation.
